The final draft of the Earth Conference is nearly complete, with only one paragraph remaining regarding the promotion of clean and environmentally safe energy production. It was anticipated that with the agreement on energy on Monday, which recommended a rapid increase in the use of non-polluting energy sources, the last obstacle before presenting the final draft for approval by heads of state would be resolved. The implementation of this plan is non-binding. However, a paragraph concerning women's health has created the final obstacle in the closing moments of the conference. The Canadian delegation states that adding this clause to the final draft is necessary to protect women from harmful practices in some cultures, such as female genital mutilation. Until an agreement is reached on this last issue, representatives cannot sign the final draft of the conference. The Earth Conference concludes on Wednesday.
